Five Quick Ways to Lighten Up a Room

  1. Paint: Paint walls a light colour and opt for white ceilings.
  2. Area Rugs: Cover dark wood or carpet with a light coloured area rug ( or two!)
  3. Mirrors: Hang a mirror across from a large window to reflect the sunlight.
  4. Lamps: Add lamps, wall sconces or task lights where possible. All rooms can benefit from added layers of light.
  5. Décor: Hang charming artwork or add a little greenery such as plants or flowers to brighten a room.
